Both versions: varnish on a rotting barn – Walk Watch - GPS Walking Computer for tracking, mapping and fitness Review

2.2 update lost all settings and saved data. 1.3 had inconsistent save (about 50% of the time save just failed and lost route). Vendor's web service creating KML for sharing on social networks generated malformed XML for me. All that said, I found the features and user-interface of this app compelling, until (with both ok and new versions, hitting save either loses my walk permanently or crashes the app). Hopefully no more hiccups in 2.2 other than update losing my history and settings, and the annoying save-bugs we'll see. I used to love this app, then tolerated it, and now I just curse at it. I am a long-time software engineer, so my perspective on the importance of quality may skew the way I look at this: the developers of this app could have done so much more investing their time in making it robust and reliable instead of (or before) re-skinning it to look more attractive after years of no updates. If the developers can fix things in a future update, I am happy to re-visit this review and my rating.
